Rosatom supplies nuclear fuel to India for the initial load at the Kudankulam-3
Rosatom starts shipment of nuclear fuel to India for the second phase of the Kudankulam NPP
The Nuclear Fuel Division of Rosatom (managed by TVEL JSC) has delivered the first delivery of nuclear fuel for the initial loading of the VVER-1000 reactor at Unit 3 of the Kudankulam NPP.
The cargo flight successfully delivered fuel assemblies manufactured by the Novosibirsk Chemical Concentrates Plant (an enterprise of the Rosatom Nuclear Fuel Division).
A total of seven flights from Russia to India are planned to supply the entire reactor core and some reserve fuel.
The shipments are provided under the contract signed in 2024, which includes fuel supply for units 3 and 4 of the Kudankulam NPP for the entire service life...

Kudankulam: AFR controversy continues
The conflict over the proposed dry storage facilities for spent nuclear fuel from the Kudankulam nuclear power plant (India) has reached a new level.
The local authorities, who oppose the storage facilities, are calling for the central government to join the discussion and either return the spent nuclear fuel to Russia or place it in a permanent geological storage facility, which, by the way, is not available in India.
Recall that in 1998, when signing an agreement with Russia on the construction of the Kudankulam nuclear power plant, the Indian side insisted that the spent nuclear fuel would remain in India for processing.
Prior to being sent for reprocessing, the plant irradiated fuel is stored in spent fuel pools, from where it is planned...

TVEL will introduce new fuel and extended fuel cycle at Kudankulam NPP
Compared to the UTVS fuel model, which is currently supplied to Kudankulam NPP, TVS-2M fuel assemblies have a number of advantages making them more reliable and cost-effective.
First, it is the rigidity of a bundle: because of the welded frame, the fuel assemblies in the reactor core retain their geometry, the spacer grids protect fuel rod cladding from fretting wear (preventing from depressurization), and the additional spacer grid makes fuel assemblies more vibration-resistant.
Secondly, the new fuel has increased uranium capacity - one TVS-2M assembly contains 7.6% more fuel material as compared to UTVS.
Everything that we offer to our Indian partners is focused...
